Does anybody know of a source for this stuff at a decent price? I'm looking for a middle ground between cheap hardware store linseed and expensive little bottles of bespoke organic flax from Whole Foods.
I want to use it primarily for seasoning cast iron, so the probably-hexane-extracted hardware stuff is out of the running, and the organic stuff is often 1st press and not particularly "clean" of other organic compounds than pure oil.
Anybody used it in soap? It's got the highest linolenic number I've ever seen. What does linolenic do for soap? A couple sources online say it is extremely mild, but that is all I can find. I would expect it to make a very hard, plasticy bar for the very reason it is good for seasoning pans, but I'd love to hear anybody's actual experience.
